If you’re thinking of ridding yourself of some bad memories by selling some of your old jewelry, you might get more bang for your buck if you opt to use the money as a down payment on a new piece of jewelry. This can happen if the jeweler purchasing the jewelry offers the option of a trade-in. And, if this jeweler has something that you want!

You can also get rid of bad memories by having the metal melted and the “old” diamonds or color gemstones reset. It’s kinda like having the couch reupholstered. The springs and frame are in good shape, you like having a place to sit, but the cover is a bit worn or perhaps doesn’t fit your current style in the room.

A new design using your gemstones can provide a beautiful new piece of jewelry at a fraction of the cost. So, where do you find the designer?  …Dii
